hmm fatherly love?

So I was watching the news today and heard about a father who called the cops on his own daughter because she was growing a marijuana plant in her closet. Now I personally think that this is horrible. I mean what parent would want to send their daughter to juvi with a police record. Why didn't he get rid of the plant and talk to her and punish her. He needed to be a father to her and not toss her mistake to the police. I mean as her father it is his job to raise her and teach her how wrong and dangerous her actions were. To me this father was lazy and did not do his parental duty. It makes me actually furious because no father should do that to his daughter. Yes she was wrong and more than one level but it's his job to raise her not the police.
